Postbiotics Fed Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus) Against Aeromonas Hydrophila : Clinical Signs, Blood Parameter, and Innate Immune Responses
Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a notable species reared in the aquaculture industry. It is famous for its protein content, rapid growth rate and adaptability in various types of water. It makes Tilapia advantageous in aquaculture for mass production through intensification. However, the stack volume of rearing may lead to disease manifestation by bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. The famous economic-loss-caused bacteria is Aeromonas hydrophila, which is already reported to have many antibiotics resistance in aquaculture. An alternative to antibiotics is the immunostimulant, which modulates the non-specific innate immune system. The experiment, host-postbiotics heat-killed-whole-cells BM4 was evaluated on its effectiveness in modulating innate immunity, hematology parameters, and clinical prophylaxis signs against A. hydrophila. The supplementation of BM4 did not significantly affect the SR and blood parameters (erythrocytes count (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht), and leukocyte count (WBC). Phagocytic activity increased by 41.38% (p
